Signs your pet needs dental care

It’s vital to recognise the signs of dental problems in your pets early. 

Look out for:

  • Bad breath: Persistent bad breath is often a sign of underlying dental issues.
  • Discoloured teeth: Yellow or brown teeth indicate plaque and tartar build-up.
  • Difficulty eating: Struggling to chew or no interest in food due to oral pain.
  • Swollen or bleeding gums: Red, inflamed, or bleeding gums can be a sign of gum disease.
  • Drooling or pawing at the mouth: These behaviours could indicate discomfort or pain in the mouth.

If you notice any of these signs, it’s important to seek help from your vet immediately.

The importance of pet dental hygiene

Maintaining your pet’s dental hygiene is crucial for their overall health. Poor pet dental hygiene has been associated with an increased risk of developing serious conditions such as heart, kidney, and liver disease.

Regular dog and cat dental care can prevent these complications, keeping your pet happy and healthy for years to come.
